Walker Consultants made several recommendations concerning updates to the citations process and fee structure. The updates include enforced accessibility compliance, proportional parking fines dependent upon citation frequency, and clearer communication on citations policy. These adjustments are intended to align with best practices and legal requirements, as well as promote fairness for permit holders. Some of these recommendations have already been implemented. The following citation fees, dependent upon their frequency, will be implemented Fall 2025. Please read the Parking Services Uptown Improvements Guide for 2025 for more information.
